Spent the night baking... a couple dozen cupcakes and an 8" cake that I think I will cut in half and make into a 1/2 of an 8" two layer cake - it'll look more impressive that way.
On the agenda for tomorrow:
- make chocolate frosting for above mentioned cake
- go to the grocery store to buy everything else I need for Tuesday
- make the dressing for the Asian Noodle Salad (God bless Pioneer Woman! My favorite blog for recipes)
- make the requisite ranch dip
- cut up veggies for platter and salad
- go to the liquor store for the wine, and a gas station in Ohio for the beer (so I'm not stuck with a case)
- go down to Pittsburgh (ok, Oakland technically) to deal with the HR people at the museum*
*this is the most important step, because it will take about 4 hours out of my day, and if I don't do it tomorrow I will have to do it Tuesday before people start coming to my house and I think that might be a bit too stressful
I'm making cupcakes too! I guess we're a couple of crazy baking sisters... too bad we aren't closer we could bake together!
ReplyDeleteI made the mistake of taking one batch out of the oven too soon, and they deflated! I'll post a pic tomorrow of their sad state
